Manchester United are ramping up their efforts to acquire a new striker this summer, having already made significant progress in their search.
**Hojlund Needs Support**
Rasmus Hojlund, brought in by Erik ten Hag last summer, had a fluctuating first season at Old Trafford. The young Danish striker shone during a mid-season stretch but struggled at the start and end of the campaign. Notably, nine of his twelve Premier League goal contributions came during a prolific seven-week period between December and February.
**Hojlund’s Performance Analysis**
| Metric | Games 1-18 | Games 19-25 | Games 26-38 |
|——–|————|————-|————-|
| Appearances | 14 | 6 | 10 |
| Starts | 11 | 6 | 8 |
| Goals | 0 | 7 | 3 |
| Assists | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| Goals/Assists per game | 0 | 1.5 | 0.375 |
At 21, Hojlund often shouldered the attacking burden alone but demonstrated significant promise. With Anthony Martial departing as a free agent this summer, Hojlund remains the sole recognized striker in Manchester United’s lineup.
This situation has left the Red Devils in need of reinforcements. Their plans to sign Benjamin Sesko were thwarted when he renewed his contract with RB Leipzig, compelling United to explore alternative targets. New owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is keen to avoid past errors, leading the club to seek a young striker who can complement Hojlund, who has fewer fitness issues than Martial and commands a manageable salary.
**Interest in Maximilian Beier**
According to Sports Bild (via Sport Witness), United are eyeing 21-year-old Maximilian Beier, who is also on the radar of Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool. The Hoffenheim striker had a stellar season, netting 16 goals in 33 Bundesliga matches. His impressive performance earned him a call-up to the German national team, where he debuted in the June internationals and secured a spot in the squad for EURO 2024 in Germany.
Hoffenheim’s sporting director, Alexander Rosen, commended Beier, stating, “Maxi Beier is a super guy and an extremely talented striker. He is incredibly fast, dangerous, and has an excellent kick.”
United have reportedly taken the first step in pursuing Beier’s signature, inquiring about the terms required for a potential transfer. Hoffenheim indicated a €32.5 million (£27.4 million) release clause as a benchmark for negotiations. This release clause will reduce by €2.5 million each summer over the remaining three years of his contract, which currently pays him £16,000 per week.
Considering that a strong performance at EURO 2024 could increase interest from other clubs, Manchester United might aim to secure a deal for Beier sooner rather than later if they are serious about their pursuit.
